SEE WHAT IM SAYING! I couldnt pass up this opportunity what a deal. Im just itching to get these parts in guys. So far i got the roof spoiler in. Carbon fiber for back window the tv deck and a new chrome grill since my other one fell off. Today i should be getting the amps for the system. I used to do systems all day. Its the speed im most excited for!!

Update. The last few days Ive been working on the sound system. Taking before and after shots. Did all the dirty work now just gota make it sound nice. Very disappointed at the deck i bought. Cant believe how crappy it made everything sound. It didnt even have subwoofer output. Thats bs, but an easy replacement. The decision was once again, between looks and performance. I chose performance and am going to switch the deck out after the turbo project. To be honest with everyone im very concerned. Car isnt performing right at all. Somethings wrong with it. Hopefully not tranny or anything nuts like that. Because turbo wouldnt help that. Just nervous about the project thats all. Hopefully all goes well. All pics will be put up at once for your entertainment and enjoyment.

Im not very mechanically inclined. But pep boys has free diagnostic. Im thinking of taking it in to get an idea of it before my buddy looks at it. 2 opinions are better then one. Just so i can see what this problem is. Majority can be fixed because will be replaced for this build. But i hope nothing serious is wrong. Just worried about tranny. Any advice? Is this a good move to make?

If your going after performance why are you adding tons of unnecessary weight like 4 subwoofers ?

Its my car, ill do whatever i want to it. But might as well tell you. I decided against the lambo doors. Even with the mad hook ups i have its a bmw. The 4 12s arent more then a couple hundred pounds and once beauty board is done will look as clean as possible and sound ten times better then any stock set up. The car is already black. But im going to put another coat on top and re clear it and murder out the rims. The box with all the speakers in it probably weighs 120 at most. Then new aftermarket deck. Wasnt happy with it but it looks cool so ill take a pic of it tomorrow. Car is a mess from project. Also installed the viper 5901 alarm system in it. Just going to put a pioneer in there since those have a good sub output and split the sound nicely. My buddy told me keep it as subtle as possible on the outside. Even the inside i decided to keep everything stock but the system. Today im going to have it looked at to make sure engine is okay. It isnt performing well. I know the temp sensor is off idk if thats it though. Main goal as of now is to make sure everything is running as clean as possible. Because if i turbo it even if it runs fast it wouldnt be meeting its full potential and can damange it later on, dont want it covering up the problem. Tomorrow is the day to get it to run stock. Then its turbo timeeee.

The slogan is bringing the BMW community TOGETHER remember when. U guys got your first BMW and how it was the best car in the world and u were gonna do this and that. Let the kid dream and if u don't believe him and u don't like what he has to say or what he is doing. THEN DONT READ IT this forum is to help one another and get opinions. I seriously doubt that this kid wassurfing the web, came across the website and decided to make up a huge story about putting a Turbo in his BMW and even if he did so b it I know that I wouldn't waste my time talking sh$t to him if I didn't believe him. Again that's BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. !!!!!!!!
